Children’s Health Insurance Programs (CHIP).

Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released an informational bulletin that provides operational information to support state efforts during the current federal funding shortfall situation for the Children’s Health Insurance Programs (CHIP). The bulletin describes state options for transitioning children from a separate CHIP to other sources of coverage, actions for states to consider as they effectuate these changes, key federal requirements for submitting State Plan Amendments (SPA), and operational information regarding how states can access the remaining funds available in FY 2018. The bulletin is available online on Medicaid.gov at http://www.medicaid.gov/federal-policy-guidance/federal-policy-guidance.html
